The Tejas crash at the Dubai Airshow needs immediate investigation & honest answers. Unless that happens, there will renewed questions over India's indigenous fighter programme.
This crash brings into sharp focus - India's perennial fighter jet crisis.
IAF's shrinking squadron strength, HAL's chronic delivery delays and our dependence on foreign engines, comes at a time when China & Pakistan are rapidly advancing with 5th & 6th generation fighters. If India truly wants to honour Wing Commander Syal's sacrifice, then it has to ask some honest questions about what went wrong and take immediate corrective measures.
